Other future possibilities

If CE participants want to set up additional CEs, they can do so either a) through one of the existing google+ communities associated with CEs (CCRP or SICW), in which case, the moderators would vett the proposals; or b) in their own virtual spaces (as would especially be appropriate adapting the approach to areas other than the two above), in which case, they are welcome to advertize the CEs in either of the google+ communities above.
